In Top Eliminator, which featured a combined two-day purse to compensate for Saturday’s total rainout, Nashville’s Phillip Bullock claimed the $4,200 top prize by pushing final round foe Donald Norris of Conway, SC, into a breakout foul with a solid .013 package.

Doug Cline, of Stanfield, made exhibition runs in his street driven 1969 Camaro, turning a best time in the eighth mile of 4.57 with a speed of 171.16 mph. Upon arrival on Friday he actually drove the all steel-body car to a local grocery store.

Other event winners included Richard Alford of Raleigh, in Footbrake, Chase Wagner of Willow Springs in Jr. Dragster and Bob Perrot of Moseley, Va., in the D.O.T. class.

Although he lost the $2,500 top prize to Alford, Hamlet’s Trey Sikes laid down an almost perfect run against Lumberton’s J.D. Lewis in the quarterfinals, combining a .001 reaction time with a track time of 9.630 seconds on a 9.630 target. It was a rare .001 package against which Lewis had no chance. Sikes also was one of the last three in the D.O.T. class before losing to Rockingham’s Tim Clark.

In the car show competition, Billy Moore of Troutman won the Best of Show in his stunning 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air.
